UNDERSTANDING MORE ABOUT VEDANA

See this content in the original post

Yogi: How to understand that pleasant feelings and pleasant thoughts are also dukkha?

Sayadaw: If you can understand that feelings are always changing – if you can understand that feeling reality in the mind is always changing – then you know that pleasant feelings are also dukkha.

Don’t pay attention to the pleasantness or unpleasantness; pay attention to just feeling. We need to understand more about vedana, about the mind, not domanassa (displeasure) or somanassa (pleasure).

Be more aware of just feeling because if you pay attention to the pleasantness, the mind becomes attached.

How long can you be happy?
